tests: avoid segfault if json monitor not present
On a machine without yajl headers, I was seeing random segfaults from qemumonitorjsontest (about 90% of the runs on my particular machine). The segfault was inside virClassIsDerivedFrom, which points to a case of a race leading to unreferencing a stale pointer to an object that had already been freed. I also noticed that if I got the segfault, I was seeing messages such as: 2013-02-22 16:12:37.504+0000: 19833: error : virNetSocketWriteWire:1361 : Cannot write data: Bad file descriptor which is also evidence of deferencing a stale pointer. I traced it to a race where qemuMonitorTestIO could execute late, after the main thread had already called qemuMonitorTestFree and called virNetSocketClose(test->client) but not clearing it out to NULL. Sure enough, after test->client has been closed, fd is -1, which causes an attempt to write to the socket to fail, which in turn triggers the error code of qemuMonitorTestIO that tries to re-close test->client. * tests/qemumonitortestutils.c (qemuMonitorTestIO): Don't attempt to free client again if test already quit.
